I spent my weekend @ Ocean City, Maryland, but I will blog about the experience when I update later. For now, there are a few things I have to mention.
My Contant Info:
So apparently, it has been next to impossible to get me on the phone. Oops. The other day, I managed to listen to the voicemail, and I started returning calls from April. LOL. Anyway, all that has changed now. However, if you do call me and I don’t pick up. please leave a message that includes your name & number. I’ll have a mighty hard time returning calls with no messages. So now, you have three ways of contacting me, and they are all current.

Authentic Nigerian AND American? Lol, don’t mind me but really though are there such people who can speak both perfectly i.e a person in America with Nigerian accent pure and unadultrated without the influence of the American accent AS WELL AS an American accent without the influence of the Nigerian accent (those with authentic Nigerian accents…) I’m intruiged as to why they need such a person too…Okay I’ll stop now lol cos I’m confusing myself.
Hiya Verastic
sorta concur with taurea…
hwver, I’m proud of what u’r doing…tho IDK wht it is,actually. u sound like a hrdwrkn entrepreneur.
Educate an Ibo(wo/man)…faya!
Funmie: Pray 4 me love. And if you call me a local chamption one more time ehn??? Okay oh. No say I no warn you
Chari: Don’t mind Funmie. One of these days, I go show her proper shege. I will beat her till she forgets her name. How body?
Anonymous: If you’re who I think you are, then yeah, we should meet up.
TMINX: Yeah, you’re confusing me too. LOL.
Ynot: Thanks for being proud of me even though you don’t know what I’m doing. LOL. Anyway, the film is not mine, so I am not in the best position to answer any questions concerning it.
Yeah Vera,
I’m going to call you and leave a message, ji.
Anyhoo,
TMINX: It’s possible, yaar. I know people who can switch off accents perfectly, believe or not but they don’t wanna be in my movie. Sadly, I was born and raised in America, so I have a very unfortuate “yankee” accent. HAHA!!!!!!!! Thus, I’ve changed my standards and can work with someone who can’t switch off accents. Hopefully everything works out.
ynot!
I’m the filmmaker. This is my second film to date. If you’re interested, see the ad and then email me.
It’s so great to see somebody working on their dreams!
Hope everything works out for you!
(By the way, can we know more about the single african girl article?)
@taureanminx…There are many. I for one am one of them…as many American people I talk to wow at my accentless accent when talking to them.
@Vera…WOW!!! Great gigs ohh…Way to get to THE Naija celebrity producer status.
Anonymous: Alright, babe…I’ll be waiting for your call.
Ms Sula: Thanks love. Okay, I will talk more about the single African girl interview when I update in a few days.
Archiwiz: Naija celebrity producer status? No, mba oh. I’m not the one producing the film; I’m just helping the producer to promote it the best way I can.
Yeah…Vera is the best! She’s really helping me out. Sadly, this weekend is gonna be my week of fun. I’m pretty much focusing on the film. However, I won a free happy hour at a local bar in DC. (It’s on the 31st…let me know if you wanna come!) and I’m going to be this BALLING Naija party for a Mama whose turning 70 on August 1st. But besides that, I have no social life anymore. Just the movie…
I see you really like challenging yourself.Pidgen and American accent combined ?Well,but for the age I would have recommended a couple of Chris’,both Pastors (just joking)!
Single but not in any relationship ? Another tough one there.But seriously,I will really like to see this film whenever it’s ready.
Business woman extraordinaire
yeah…the movie is going to come out soon…hopefully by sept. gee whiz, it’s so hard producing a film, but i love it tho! i have ppl who are up for auditioning and i’m always looking for more. glad ppl are interested. if you know anyone else who’s interested. have them email me.
thanks!
